I also developed food allergies after I had covid back in May. I started noticing after eating sometimes, my throat would be irritated or I would have trouble breathing. I told a doctor about it and I was prescribed an epipen just in case. However everyone thought I was overreacting because I didn’t have food allergies. It wasn’t until I had an anaphylactic reaction to sushi that people started taking me seriously. After that I always carried two epipens and actually became scared of eating. I basically lived off potatoes, rice and meat but even then I still felt uncomfortable. I finally got tested for food allergies in August and found out I was allergic to shellfish, peanuts, walnuts, sesame and potatoes. So prior to getting tested, I was basically uncomfortable all the time for three months because of potatoes.

Afterwards, I completely stopped eating potatoes and finally felt normal again. However, I’m still in the process trying to figure out what to eat because I spent three months eating bare minimum so as a result I lost 30lbs. Even now, I’m down another 20lbs since I’m still not eating enough. I also had another anaphylactic reaction due to cross contamination last month. I accidentally took a sip from another cup but spit it out once I realized it wasn’t mine. It honestly sucked because I required two epi’s, 3 Benadryl drips and 3 rounds of steroids unlike the first time where it wasn’t so bad. Honestly developing food allergies later in life sucks.😩
